The Colossus
Sign in to savepainting by Francisco de Goya
Described at
The Colossus - The Collection - Museo Nacional del Prado
A fearsome giant looms over a valley filled with a terrified, scattering multitude in what has on occasions been seen as a reference to the Spanish War of Independence. Although catalogued until recently as an original by Goya and often considered one of his most unique works, the painting has been the subject of intense critical debate in recent years.
